STEPANAKERT. – Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Defense Army started punitive actions all along the contact line in response to killing of Karabakh soldiers, say sources close to NKR Ministry of Defense.

According to the sources, an Azerbaijani soldier was killed on November 23 in the direction of Horadiz as a result of actions. Azerbaijani media is still silent over the case.

Azerbaijan keeps violating the truce, refuses to withdraw snipers from the contact line and resorts to provocations. 19-year-old Armen Simonyan and Mihran Margaryan were killed by Azerbaijani militaries several days ago.
